Information services provider Euromoney Institutional Investor resumed its dividend on confidence in its outlook despite a virus-led slump in profit.

For the year ended 30 September 2020, pre-tax profit fell 60% to £32.9 million year-on-year as revenue slipped 17% to £335.3m.

The company resumed dividend payments and recommended a final dividend for the financial year 2020 of 11.4 pence per share, down from 22.3 pence per share.

Looking ahead, the company said Covid-19 remained a headwind, though added that demand for price reporting and essential market intelligence remained strong with good visibility for pricing and DMI subscriptions.

The turnaround of IRD was on track, it added.
